DR. GRAKEf AICES
ISSUE WITH DR.
IQTCHIN ON LAW
University Prof essor Replies to
Dean Kitchin's Statements in
Regard to Sterilization Law
Commending the Millner. steriliza
tion law passed, by the .1929 North
Corolina Legislature, and advocating
the "judicious" use, .of .sterilization
to cope with the problem of . feeble
ddness. Dr. - Harrv . W. Crane
takes issue with Dr. . Thurman D
Kitchen for his statements in .regard
to the sterilization , law before the
recent meeting of the State Medical
Society. Dr. Crane is professor of
abnormal psychology, at ' the Univer
sity and is also director of the divi
sion of mental health and hygiene
for the State Board of Charities -and
Public Welfare,. Dr. Kitchen is dean
of the Wake Forest Medical School
and former president of the State
Medical Societey ,. .
Dr. Crane's reply, in part is as fol
lows: ..
"Indiana back in 1807 was the first
State to pass a sterilization law. We
may consider this the" definite start
ing in the United States of the move
ment to prevent by operative mea
sures the procreation of socially un
desirable types of individuals. From
that time on almost, if not quite, up
to the present moment, - there has
been a constant controversy centered
upon this means of -attempt at social
control. Both the; proponents of the
measure and those antagonistic to it
have had in their ranks $iose who
were vehement, emotional, illogical
. - ...
1 rather than scientific, in,teir atti
tudes. There; iwere those extremists
who saw in sterilization a panacea
for all social ills. There were those
' just as far from the truth in the
other direction claiming that no good
could possibly result from the use o
sterilization. -. . . :. .
"May 13 to 15, inclusive, at Atlanta,
marked the 53rd annual session of
the American Association . for the
Study of the Feeble-minded. There
was during the entire series of meet
ings of this body probably no other
one question that was more frequent
ly referred to. v by ; those . presenting
papers, nor more frequently intro
duced by those discussing the various
papers, than that of the use of steri
lization. . ; . '
"Particularly interesting was the
fact that only two people, out of the
entire group took the .floor against
sterilization. , and even - these were
Welfare Workers To,

and for lectures in their special
fields.
Two main topics of discussion will
be featured, mental hygiene and the
juvenile court. Two of the speakers
on these subjects will be Dr. Harry
W. Crane, professor of abnormal
psychology at the University and
director of the division of mental
health and hygiene for the State
Board of Charities and Public Wel
fare, and Judge W. M. York, of the
juvenile court at Greensboro. In ad
dition to these, two men a number of
county superintendents of public wel
fare and other members of the staff
of the State Board will appear on the
program; "
Although the majority of speakers
will be from North Carolina welfare
workers there will be several speakers
from other states. The discussions
will center on problems of peculiar
interest to this state.
Reception Given
, By House Mother
At Spencer Hall
Mrs. Irene Lee, house mother at
Spencer Hall, and her daughter Miss
Maude Lee, entertained at a reception
yesterday in honor of Mrs. Charles
A. White, of Greenville, and Mrs.
Thomas S. Rollins, Jr., of Chapel
Hill.
Mrs. White is here on a visit to her
mother and father, Dr. and Mrs.
George W. Lay. Mrs. Rollins and her
husband are leaving soon to make
their home in Asheville.
The reception was held in Spencer
Hall. The guests were welcomed by
Mrs. M. H. Stacey and Mrs. G. K. G.
Henry and introduced to the receiv
ing line by Miss Katherine Martin
and Miss Mela Royall.
Receiving with Mrs. Lee and Miss
Lee were Mrs. White and her mother,
Mrs. George W. Lay, Mrs. Rollins,
and Mrs. Cale K. Burgess, of Raleigh.
The reception hall was decorated
with sweet peas, snap dragons, and
green candles. The color scheme was
rose and green.

perfunctory protest either; North
Carolina really stood aghast at the
prospect of losing Chase, and the
public relief when he declined the
offer was not at all pretended....
"His fight against the anti-evolution
bill unquestionably made Chase,
as far as public opinion was con
cerned. It did not sharpen the ran
cor of the fanatical fundamentalists
against the university, for that was
already razor-edged; and it did arouse
tremendous enthusiasm for the insti
tution among the intelligent. The
Poole bill, in fact, was beaten partly
by the votes of legislators who were
themselves fundamentalists in" reli
gion, but wno were iairmmaea, ana
who .admired courage, even in a col
lege president. And the- appropria
tion went through."

Y Holds Annual
- Hillside Service
The annual Hillside meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. cabinets was held Sunday
afternoon in Kenan Stadium, It has
been the custom for many years to
hold the final meeting of the year in
this manner.
The meeting was opened with de
votional exercises by J. A. Lang. Mac
Gray, the retiring president, gave a
report of the Y. M. C. -A. activities
during the past year, in which he
stated that the Y cabinets had played
an important part in various phases
of University life during the past
year. He commended the leaders of
the cabinets for their cooperation in
dealing with the campus problems.
Parson" Moss then took charge of
the meeting, and delivered a very
interesting and enlightening talk on
the subject of "Sensibilities." "Sen
sibility," he said, "is the prime fact

influence will reach in life. To suc

that won them that success. Choose

fourth or fifth grade.
These conditions are not the fault
of the students said Mr. Knight, but
rather that of the people who do not
supply the money necessary for the
carrying on of an efficient school sys-
em.
The problem of financing the public
schools is an important one that is
just as persistent now as it was be-
bre the time of Aycock, who did so
much for North Carolina's schools.
'We have not yet worked out a satis
actory system of taxation for the ade
quate support of the schools," and with
out adequate, imancing support we
cannot have an adequate educational
system." said Dr. Knight.
GERALD JOHNSON WRITES
OF DR. CHASE'S CAREER
there would be the further fallacy of
forgetting that, could sterilization
pense all cases of feeble-mindedness prevent a part of the lowest grades
and that it, therefore, bcomes neces
sary for institutions for the feeble
minded to parole back into the com
munity those cases that have so
profited by their institutional train
ing as to show the.liklihood of social
adjustment, must also be accepted.
Granting these two major premises,
we must also accept the final con
clusion of the great majority of this
group of experts in the field of feeble
mindedness, that before any such in
dividual be placed back in the com
munity, if he or she be of the congen
tility defective type, that sterilization
should be assured, sf
"Of course, sterilization will not
prevent some people from having less
intelligence than others, but even were
there not the fallacy just' indicated,
from coming into the world the
lower two per cent of that population
would be of higher grade than tha
coming in without, sterilization, and
that most certainly is a desirable end."
Girl's Hot Tip

to Favorite
Pipe Tobacco
San Francisco, CaL
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
; Since I first started to smoke, I
have always smoked cigarettes.
One day SHE said to me "Hid,
dear, why don't you smoke a pipe. I
think those long straight-stemmed
pipes are so manly-looking."
So, naturally, I had to buy a long
stemmed pipe and a can of well, we'll
call it Blubs Mixture tobacco. Im
mediately with a certain feeling of
pnde m my new pipe, I "lighted up
and proceeded to have my tongue bit
ten. I tried almost every brand I had
ever heard of, but none satisfied me.
Sadly, I had to confess to HER that
as a pipe smoker I . was a good dietitian.
" Did you try Edgeworth? " she
asked. "That is what dad smokes,
and he's always smoked a pipe."
; So I was forced to try Edgeworth,
and all that I can say is that if every
f ellow that has tried to accustom him
self to a pipe, started with Edgeworth,
there would be very few that would go
back to cigarettes.
Yours sincerely,
